How do I access JavaScript variable under Color portion of HTML code?

I would like to access the variable "theSkyColour" inside the HTML code below as shown. May I know how do I access it as shown?



The following is the code I have written:






function getSkyColour() {
var theSkyColour = localStorage.getItem('skySetting');
}

<a-sky id="skyColor" src="#sky" 
material="shader:gradient; topColor: <<I want to access theSkyColor here>>; bottomColor: <<I want to access theSkyColor here>> ; offset:0;"></a-sky>





I have viewed other answers like the one here: Javascript variable access in HTML, however, it did not work for me as I am unable to change the color of the sky in the viewing page.



I've created the following HTML pages.
1. A settings page to adjust the color of the sky saved in a localStorage as "skyColor".
2. A viewing page for the user to view the color of the sky.



The reason why I have an a-sky tag is that I am using aframe.io

    "It did not work for me" how? It is not very descriptive. Please update the snippet I made for you with your attempts - Also please tell us what framework has <a-sky tags

  • I concur with @mplungjan we need to know which flavor of custom elements you are using. Not a ninja myself in this area but sounds reasonably doable at least in vanilla flavor, but without knowing if it is the one you use, we can't make an answer for you.

You can’t, but you can change the function to update the color of the sky.



document.getElementById("skyColor").material = `defaultStylesInHere topColor:${localStorage.getItem("skyColor")};`;

check out the snippets for getting and setting attributesin an a-frame component. Refer to the following documentation:



https://aframe.io/docs/0.8.0/core/entity.html#getattribute-componentname



It explains very well how to get and how to set values from component properties and sub-properties:

  • This is a jQuery code, you need to have jQuery library in your application to use it. If you do not have jQuey library, I will suggest an alternative to it in pure JavaScript

  • I would like to use pure Javascript as well. However, like I mentioned in the original post, there is a problem of being unable to call it inside the HTML code with Javascript. So I'm confused. What should I do here if I would like to use pure Javascript?

Unless you are using a framework like Angular or django, it is not possible to access variables in your HTML code, instead you can construct the attribute in your Javascript and add it to the element.



EX:



var myAttr = "shader:gradient; topColor:"+skyColor+"; bottomColor:"+skyColor+"; offset:0;"
$("#skyColor").attr("material",myAttr)


Update: without using jQuery:



<script>
function getSkyColour() {
var theSkyColour = localStorage.getItem('skySetting');
}
getSkyColour()

var myAttr = "shader:gradient; topColor:"+theSkyColour+"; bottomColor:"+theSkyColour+"; offset:0;"
document.getElementById(‘skyColor’).setAttribute(“material”,myAttr)

  • This is a jQuery code, you need to have jQuery library in your application to use it. If you do not have jQuey library, I will suggest an alternative to it in pure JavaScript

  • I would like to use pure Javascript as well. However, like I mentioned in the original post, there is a problem of being unable to call it inside the HTML code with Javascript. So I'm confused. What should I do here if I would like to use pure Javascript?

Unless you are using a framework like Angular or django, it is not possible to access variables in your HTML code, instead you can construct the attribute in your Javascript and add it to the element.



EX:



var myAttr = "shader:gradient; topColor:"+skyColor+"; bottomColor:"+skyColor+"; offset:0;"
$("#skyColor").attr("material",myAttr)


Update: without using jQuery:



<script>
function getSkyColour() {
var theSkyColour = localStorage.getItem('skySetting');
}
getSkyColour()

var myAttr = "shader:gradient; topColor:"+theSkyColour+"; bottomColor:"+theSkyColour+"; offset:0;"
document.getElementById(‘skyColor’).setAttribute(“material”,myAttr)

</script>
